Noble Drew Ali, born January 8th, 1886, brought with him a mission, a message and a plan that would foster the benefits of a system for salvation that was of an Earthly and Divine nature. His mission to “uplift fallen humanity” was a goal that included the projected ideologies of spiritual growth and evolution, enlightenment and the oneness of ALLAH. Noble Drew Ali provided the Moors with a vision of a goal and a map to the inner source of the Asiatic’s true genetic identity and infinite spiritual essences that is contained within the temple of man.

Noble Drew Ali demonstrated the behavior of being a spiritual achiever by displaying a deep love and devotion to those he worked to release from a state of mental slavery. He urged Moors to develop a natural sense of love and compassion for one another by constantly reminding the Moors to learn to “love instead of hate.” His work ethic, dedication and forethought represented his insight into the future paradigms of consciousness and social being.Noble Drew Ali represented, for the Moors in the Occidental territories, a modern entity with a plan for healing, self-identity, self-knowledge, self-realization, and salvation. These benefits, as a result of studying Noble Drew Ali’s teachings, are encoded, symbolically interwoven and interpolated in a divine preparation entitled, the “Moorish Holy Koran.” Within this manual for self mastery are the tools for developing the workshop of the mind and the guidelines regarding the spiritual dimensions and the divine essence that is enthroned within man. In studying the works and teachings of Noble Drew Ali, one will find the following consciousness templates engraved into the manual of self-mastery: the Moorish Holy Koran. These seven basic “Truths” are as follows:

• Evolution cannot be hindered; Man is doomed to perfection as spiritual growth is assured (MHK Chapter 1).
• ALLAH’s dwelling place is within the heart of Man; for ALLAH and man are one.
• Man’s reality of ALLAH changes at different phases of growth and consciousness attainment (MHK 10:13-23).
• Engrained in Man is the higher truth as man possesses a “higher self” which is ALLAH in man.
• The true nature of man is infinite as “time never was when man was not (Moorish Holy Koran Chapter 1).”
• Man has two selves, the “higher self” and “lower self;” the “higher self” represents the infinite and eternal truth, while the “lower self” symbolizes the temporary world of illusion.
• The natal identity of the Moors is of an ancient origin and that the spiritual system (old time religion) utilized by the Moors is for both an earthly and divine salvation. Through this specialized system of being and becoming, one learns to honor thy mother and thy father by clinging to the upright and ancient “ways” that leads one back to the oneness of ALLAH, for ALLAH and man are one.

As Noble Drew Ali understood that no two people possessed the same degree of understanding, he encouraged the Moors, then and now, to teach and enforce the principle of love as the method by which they (we) would “uplift fallen humanity.” He also urged the Moors to act in love and compassion while also displaying the ability to forgive, because everyone would not be psychologically prepared at the same time. However, he knew that there would be moments when the five senses would synchronize with deeper intuition and be allowed to access a greater frequency of consciousness and being that would deliver a higher degree of truth. He unveiled the mystery that Asiatics were all linked into the same infinite intelligence which allowed them the ability to activate their potential to vibrate in perfect harmony with ALLAH. This, as taught by Noble Drew Ali, was an inevitable act if man were to attune himself with his higher self: the self of Aught.

He also revealed that the barriers that would hinder progress and attunement with the higher self would be the parasitic identity of delusion: the lower self. He further revealed that this entity of illusion would distract man with the following: the intoxication for ego needs, the distortion of perception, the lack of self identity and self worth, with trauma that psychologically defeats the best intentions and with all other aspects of the illusory world that breed harm, hurt and imbalance. These are the ancient and universal teachings of Noble Drew Ali.

We honor him, his message and his teachings on this holy day, January 8th, 2007. May the universal truth that be unveiled continue to enlighten minds and purify hearts with the majestic glory of ALLAH?
